Alandia plans to sell its Statutory Accident and Patient Insurance portfolio to LähiTapiola
Alandia has signed a letter of intent with LähiTapiola to sell its Statutory Accident and Patient Insurance Portfolio together with the customer relationships to LähiTapiola. The transaction does not involve any changes to the insurance coverage of the customers concerned and requires no action from the customers. For the transaction to be completed, approval is required from the Financial Supervisory Authority and both parties’ general meetings.
The date of entry into force of the transaction is intended to take place on 1 July 2022. The Alandia Statutory Accident and Patient Insurance portfolio personnel will be transferred as old employees and will become LähiTapiola’s employees starting from the same date.
“We are very pleased to have signed a letter of intent with LähiTapiola regarding the sale of our Statutory Accident and Patient Insurance portfolio. Already early in the sales process, LähiTapiola emphasized the importance of a smooth transition for both customers and personnel. We have had a good collaboration with LähiTapiola before, when we sold our Personal Accident and Travel Insurance portfolio to them. In the previous transfer, LähiTapiola took responsibility for both customers and personnel in an exemplary manner. The sale of Alandia Statutory Accident and Patient Insurance portfolio is a continuation of our strategy to become a pure marine insurance company with the vision of becoming a leading European marine insurance specialist”, says Alandia’s CEO Tony Karlström.
LähiTapiola is a customer-owned financial group that sells insurance services. The LähiTapiola Group’s products and services include non-life, life and pension insurance, investment, and savings services. LähiTapiola serves its customers locally in Swedish and Finnish.
“LähiTapiola serves corporate customers locally throughout Finland, and through the acquisition of Alandia’s Statutory Accident and Patient Insurance portfolio, we are strengthening our position on the Åland Islands. After the acquisition, we can serve Åland Islands’ corporate customers more comprehensively than before through our wide product range, our geographical coverage and our extensive network of experts and partners”, says LähiTapiola’s Business Director Juho Vilokki.
